SOUTH CANAAN.

 during the past week; two long pro- sessions of sympathizing friends have wended their way to our cemeteries and have laid to rest the aged chris tian, weary with long life of toll and care, spent in the service of others, and the lovely babe of 8 few months only, unsoiled by contact with earth. Mrs Harriet Ensign Prentice was born in this town in 1910, and was early married to the Rev Charles Prentice. They soon removed to Easton, Ct., where he preached, and afterwards opened school for boys. Twenty four years ago he was laid to rest. Soon afterwards Mrs Prentice made her home with her adopted daughter, Mrs Hallock, in Catskill, and after Mrs Hallock's death filled mothers place to two little girls left motherless. Though the greater part of her life has been spent away from her birth place, she ever retained warm afec- tion for her early home, frequently visiting her relatives and doing much to beautify the family lot in the ceme- tery, which she expected to be her last resting place. Blessed with con- fortable health, she was active to the last, and after short illness has gone to be '' forever with the Lord" On Tuesday afternoon she was laid to rest in the cemetery where five generations of her kindred lie, going back to the first settlement of this town .. To Mir and Mrs Samuel Bradley was lent for few short months, lovely boy. He was their joy, their pride their pleas ure every day he grew more dear as he grew in the winsome graces of baby hood. "The baby brow, is there aught so fair The breath of Heaven is play ing there, in and out of his waves of hair" After short and sudden illness he was taken, taken from temptation and sin, from all the trials and sorrows that visit those of later years. He left pleasant home and kind and loving parents he has gone to rest in un- clouded skies, and in the Fathers arms.
 "Two little snowy wings,
 Softly flutter too and fro,
 Two tiny childish hands
 Reckon to you.
 Two tender angel eyes
 Watch you ever earnestly, Through the loop-holes of the skies, Baby's looking out for you.'
 The Rev D. M. Moore preached his farewell sermon to this congregation on Sunday. He has spent nine and a. half years of faithful, earnest and con- scientious labor here, being absent in all that time from only one service, when his presence was expected. He leaves many warm and earnest friends, and carries with him, in marked degree, the heartfelt respect of the community, and their best wishes fo1 his happiness and prosperity, wherever his lot may be cast.
